When I talk about a show I like, it's usually because there's a lot of laughter (Two and a half Men) or drama (Grey's Anatomy) or hot guys with guns (24) but this time it's totally different. I think it's a show everyone should see.
It's called "My Life As A Child" and it's on TLC Mondays at 6pm central. This week was the first episode, and I wasn't sure about it. But I fell in love with these kids. Basically, they give kids a video camera and they record their lives.
There was a 7 year old boy living with his mom and sister in an apartment in a bad neighborhood in Baltimore. He talked about murders in his neighborhood, and how all he wanted to do was be able to play outside. He lived with his grandmother during the week to go to a good school, and he walked up to her one day while she was cooking and thanked her for everything. He also told the camera that he thinks she is so strong and confident, and he wants to be like her.
There was another boy, living in LA, who had cerebral palsy. He was taking karate classes, and at the end of the episode, during his karate-themed birthday party, he was given his yellow belt. He talked about just wishing he could walk. His service dog was his dog slash brother. And his parents...he couldn't say enough good things about them.
It really is a fantastic show. Seeing life through the eyes of a child...it doesn't get any better than that. So if you get a chance, check it out.

Speaking of hot guys with guns, where is Milo???
I don't think I need to add another TV show to my rotation... especially one that sounds like I'm gonna cry while watching it!
there wasn't as much crying as i would have expected. it's just really good to see the world through these kids' eyes.
That sounds really eye opening. I might have to check that out!

You can do it! And I don't know if I'll get mine posted until much later, so you have oodles of time to write! :)
aw! Kids with cameras.
sounds like something that will make me cry... i'm going to pass right now.
If it's a really big hit, I might be able to watch it in a year or two. If it's just moderately good, then a few years later.
However, I have to say I like the shows that give hot shirtless men cameras...
So now that you've joined me in being jobless, do you fell more free on your blog?
Speaking of kids on shows has anyone checked out "Are you smarter then a 5th grader?". Jeff Foxworthy hosts it and it is just like Millionaire but with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5th grade questions. You have a class of 5th graders to help you. It is great...and I am NOT smarter then a 5th grader!
